Dialysis Access: Current Practice

Friday, 9 December 2011 comments (0)

The incidence of treated end stage renal disease (ESRD) continues to rise, particularly in the western world. Although renal transplantation is the treatment of choice for ESRD, the decline in the number of cadaveric organs, coupled with the rising demand for transplantation, means that an increasing number of patients will have to depend on dialysis. Vascular or peritoneal access is the Achilles’ heel of any dialysis service. This book offers a clear description of the state of the art in providing and perserving a durable and reliable access. It also points the way to dialysis in the 21st century. The contributing authors are drawn from a wide background, with expertise in various aspects of dialysis access, including its history, the technique of placement, anaesthesia, radiology, nursing care and training of vascular access surgeons. There is currently a dearth of books on the subject of dialysis access. The few existing books on vascular access were written in the United States, with none from the UK. This volume is intended for use by transplant surgeons, general surgeons with an interest in vascular access, vascular surgeons, nephrologists, trainees and nurses. Dialysis services are expanding worldwide and this book is a valuable guide for those involved in daily patient care and organization of dialysis services

Harrison’s Nephrology and Acid-Base Disorders

Thursday, 8 December 2011 comments (0)

The authority of Harrison’s in a handy, full-color paperback devoted exclusively to Nephrology and Acid-Base Disorders

A Doody’s Core Title for 2011!

4 STAR DOODY’S REVIEW!

“In the Harrison’s tradition, this book integrates pathophysiology withclinical management while outlining discoveries in genetics andmolecular biology. It includes some important chapters that are not found in similar books: one on adaptation of the kidney to renal injury (including factors and mechanisms of renal diseaseprogression) and one on hyperuricemia and gout. The introductory chapter on the basic biology of the kidney, covering renal development, function, and physiology, is very well written. This book meets the expected Harrison’s standards and reading it is a satisfying experience.”–Doody’s Review Service
